Cataract

Cataracts occur when the lens in your eye becomes cloudy from natural proteins that build up over time. Most cataracts develop slowly over time, causing symptoms such as blurry vision. The good news is that Cataract can be easily removed by surgery which is a very safe surgical procedure. Consult with a doctor to know more.

What is Cataract?

The word cataract is used to describe a natural lens that has formed cloudy. Cataract is not a disease, but rather a condition affecting the eye. As the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, it does not allow light to pass through it as well as it did when it was transparent. Cataract usually starts as a slight cloudiness that progressively grows more opaque. It is usually white, but may take on color such as yellow or brown. As the cataract becomes more mature (increasingly opaque and dense), the retina receives less and less light. The light that does reach the retina becomes increasingly blurred and distorted. This causes gradual impairment of vision. If left untreated, cataracts can cause needless blindness. A cataract can only be removed by surgery.
